The Tissot PRC 200 Automatic Chronograph is a mechanical watch, and as the name states, it’s automatic as well. The fact that it’s mechanical means it doesn’t use batteries for power, instead it uses mechanically stored power in springs inside the watch, which keeps it going. This particular model is an automatic one, also referred to as a self winding mechanism.

These automatic Tissot watches have a metal rotor that moves freely, and as the person wearing it moves his hands and wrists, this tiny rotor transfers the energy forward, winding the watch up. However, this doesn’t mean the watch never has to be wound up manually, but this really depends on the usage.

Overall this is an amazingly made and engineered time keeping piece. A few things that will be a deal breaker for some is the size, or to be more precise, the thickness of the watch itself. Also, it is by no means a cheap watch. But one has to keep in mind that it is targeted towards enthusiasts and people who appreciate the skill and craftsmanship of mechanical watches.
